[PATCH net-next v6 00/13] Introduce PHY listing and link_topology tracking

[Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>]

Hello everyone,

Here's a V6 for the link topo and multi-phy support series.

Most of the changes were from Jakub's and Russell's reviews, the main
point being a rework of the netlink API, removing uneeded nests and
cleaning-up the dump code. Thanks's Jakub for all the tips, hopefulle
the API is cleaner now.

Another change is that we now try to re-use the phy index if possible,
but I couldn't reliably have this and the alloc-topology-on-first-attached-phy
feature as well, with the risk of assigning the same index to different
PHYs when setting an interface down then up again.

Here's what the new listings would look like :
 - eth0 has a 88x3310 acting as media converter, and an SFP module with
   an embedded 88e1111 PHY
 - eth2 has a 88e1510 PHY

# ethtool --show-phys *

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: mv88x3310
PHY device name: f212a600.mdio-mii:00
Downstream SFP bus name: sfp-eth0
PHY id: 0
Upstream type: MAC

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 2
Driver name: Marvell 88E1111
PHY device name: i2c:sfp-eth0:16
PHY id: 21040322
Upstream type: PHY
Upstream PHY index: 1
Upstream SFP name: sfp-eth0

PHY for eth2:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: Marvell 88E1510
PHY device name: f212a200.mdio-mii:00
PHY id: 21040593
Upstream type: MAC
